Well hell, first the Italians get rid of the Lira, now the Canadian dollar reaches parity with us. What the hell are we going to use as the default currency when trying to make jokes about how 4 million of theirs equals about $3.49 here in the states?

Give Ben and his fed crew a few more months and we'll be looking up to the peso on the currency board. By bailing out a few people and attempting to stave off what was developing into a mild recession, the Federal Reserve might be driving us into something between the late 1970's and October of '29. Get out of your debts now while the dollar is cheap and interest rates are low, because when, not if, the government decides the dollar should be worth more than toilet paper, watch the interest rates skyrocket.
